Pistons at Suns

[CardsSunsDbacks]

The Suns will get the chance to redeem themselves tonight after a very poor shooting performance on Wednesday against the Warriors. I am very curious to see what we get from Beasley in this game as I believe he is very important if this team is going to be playoff contenders. If we get Wednesday's performance more often than not we will be in trouble and likely top 10 in the lottery.

I expect to see better shooting performances from Dragic and Dudley and I feel as though that will be enough to win this game tonight. Hopefully the defense that we saw against the Warriors will be the norm this year because they actually looked like they could get a stop for the first time in years.

LOL, you make it sound like they are better than GSW. I dont see why they have to "redeem" themselves. Most fans expectation is already low. Heck, some are even pinning for a loss.
Just go out and play hard youngsters!!

I said redeem themselves because they shot the ball horribly against the Warriors. Also I do believe they are better than the Warriors so we will have to disagree on that.

They shot better than the Warriors.

If you think 40% is horrible for our team you are in for many more games like that as I am pretty sure we will struggle from the field regularly.

No more easy transition baskets or Nash finding you in your sweet spots.

40% is pretty low for any team, and certainly is below what the Suns will average on the season.

Well the worst teams in the league average around 41%-42% and they don't do that with consistency. You are probably looking at 40% or worse every other game with some better in between.
So I expect 40% shooting nights will be common for this Suns team.

Yeah and 19% from 3 is really bad considering that we have guys that can knock em down. Dragic and Dudley for example are guys that are pretty good from 3, but they were a combined 2-11 from 3.

I don't expect this team to be shooting anything like 50%, but I fully expect they will average closer to 45% than 40%

Did you actually watch the first game? Dragic was handing out open shots like candy on Halloween- guys who usually make them just missed them that night. Dudley, Brown, Morris, and the rest of them are not going to niss those wide open shots on regular basis.

link to the game?

Gortat is still a pretty good offensive center sans Nash.

 

[AfroSuns]

Gortat is a block machine so far and looks good on offense too.

 

[jagu]

Gortat+Dragic is going to be pretty good all year. Gortat knows exactly what to do with guards.

 

[AfroSuns]

Beasley is really struggling

 

[Broseph]

who??

 

[95pro]

beasley blew two wide open shots

 

[jagu]

Dragic wow!

 

[AzStevenCal]

I think we found a ref that doesn't like Scola. Can't blame the guy but they really ought to just do their job and pretend to not have an agenda. That was weak.

[95pro]

yea he hooked him after the shot/play.

duds misses a wide open 3 too. dragic would have more assists if the shooters would make em.

He gained no advantage, bad call.

He also pretty clearly pushed him off with his arm before he drove around..

open shots are not 100%, if shooters would always make them everyone would average more assists, Gortat blew a wide open layup off a pass from Beasley too. It's next 100%.

A Wesley Johnson sighting ... finally.. too bad Kendall Marshall still can't get minutes over Sebastian freaking Telfair.

 

[PhxGametime]

NBA officials are by far the worst I've seen in any Sport...

 

[jagu]

Beasley is just so clueless on the court , reminds me of Warrick on defense.

Okay, I'll go back and re-watch it to see if I missed something.
